"My wife Wei and I actually stumbled upon Log Jam Restaurant in Lake George by mistake, as I was driving towards Vermont, and honestly, it was the happiest mistake I’ve ever made! Ever since that first visit years ago, it’s become my go-to spot every time I’m in the area. The wood décor makes you feel like you’re dining inside a cozy Adirondack lodge, and the location couldn’t be more perfect. The service? Always top-notch, friendly, quick, and welcoming. The food? Incredible! My personal favorite is the lobster roll, so good it deserves its own fan club. Every bite feels like a little vacation for your taste buds. Amazing salat bar, I also LOVE their coffee. If you’re anywhere near Lake George, do yourself a favor and stop by. You won’t regret it, actually, you’ll probably end up like me, finding excuses to come back again and again. Highly recommended (and when you try the lobster roll, you can thank me later )."

"Nice restaurant in a rustic log cabin, many rooms plenty of seating. We had reservations and we were seated no waiting. The service was excellent, the food was delicious and they have a very large salad bar, we had a group of four. We really enjoyed it."

"As we pulled into the Log jammer restaurant and parked it instantly felt inviting. The small quaint restaurant with beautiful flowers from the outside opens up into a sprawling dinning area that’s seems to go on forever, definitely deceiving from the outside! Our server John and his other serving partner whom I regret to remember his name were outstanding. They worked in tandem and we never waited or went without anything. I ordered the t-bone and my wife ordered the Prime Rib which sells out quickly and for good reason! Steaks were cooked perfectly and the salad bar offered on all entrees really elevates overall experience and value of this place, fresh ingredients being refilled on demand, I mean what’s not to like there. This place is an absolute must if your looking for quality food at fair affordable prices with a great family atmosphere"

"I was in the Lake George area and I was looking for food and it was in the middle of the day and I came across the Log Jam. I checked it out on Google and it was rated at 4.4 stars, but I’m always one to go in and try places even if they’re not highly rated because I know humans can often have varying experience and taste and expectations. Well, I started out with the bacon wrapped shrimp, which I have to say paired really well with a paradox pilsner. I ordered the cranberry chicken breast which came with rice which entitled me to the Salad bar. I have to say I haven’t seen a Salad bar since the 70s. Yes I know I’m old. Let’s hold all the comments. And I was pleasantly surprised by everything on the salad bar. I forgot to take pictures of the chicken, but here is a photograph of the bacon wrap shrimp which I would highly recommend and also a picture of the masterpiece of a salad that I made. I also got the bread pudding, but once again forgot to take a picture. Refer back to the above comment about me being old."

"We had reservations and got right in. The atmosphere is so cute and cozy. We sat on the outside closed in porch with all the plants. The salad bar was amazing! The food was good too. We also had dessert coffee afterwards. More places need to do the dessert coffee because then I’d actually get dessert lol!"

"What a charming spot! So glad we were able to dine here during our visit to the area. The log cabin atmosphere is cozy and intimate with great attention to detail and festive fall decor. The staff are very friendly and attentive from start to finish. Their salad bar is excellent with lots of options to choose from. Our entrees were delicious and cooked as ordered. Special shout-out to our server, Stacey R, who was excellent and efficient. Highly recommend a stop at the Log Jam Cabin!"
